Oh boy howdy, you've got your work cut out for you.
One thing that I'm not sure has been advised is to bring a big assortment of fuses. Do you have any idea if the ds rear light/brake light/turn signal is getting power? I'm sure that you've got a new light cluster on order as well as lenses for both sides. License plate light is almost certainly toast as well. Drive in the daylight.
The visible rust is going to be a bear to deal with. The rest will probably be a lot worse.
I can promise you that the dealer installed "roof rack" that you've got there is leaking terribly into the cabin (dealers drilled holes in the roof upon install...). Anyway, that stuff is for the future.
@diesellibrarian offered some good advice.
I know that you don't have money for shipping your truck. Do you have a friend with a good towing rig? You could rent a trailer and haul it home.
If not. Be safe and have fun.
